Pakistan suspends Jaffar Express citing 'serious security concerns' in restive Balochistan

Pakistan Railways suspends Jaffar Express operations between Quetta and Peshawar from 9 to 12 November due to security concerns. The suspension follows insurgent attacks, including a deadly hijacking in March that killed 26 people, and recent blasts causing derailments. Critics argue the suspension deprives low-income travelers of affordable travel options amidst ongoing violence in Balochistan.
